The guards tried to push her on but she begged
to be allowed to shake hands with Mr.. Cleve-
land before budging. Mr. Cleyland overheard
the request and graciously turned in that direc

Locomotive No. 142, splendidly decorated, in
charge of John Vancleve, engineer, and Frank
Smith, fireman, pulled the Presidents train
from Indianapolis to Terre Haute. President
Riley Mexican, of the Vsndalia system, pre-
ceeded the residents train one hour to see that
the road was in order, that all freight traius
were side tracked, and that fagmen were at
every wegon-erossing on the route.
The Duekworth Club, with the First Regiment
Military Band, and ehaperoned by the Hen.
bricks Club, visited the Sentinel Telegraph and
Democrat Offices last night. Speeches were
made at each place. A visit was then made to
the residence Of Mrs. Hendricks, who, through
Hon. Leon Bailey, welcomed the members to
the house, where she received them in the hall
in he1 usual cordial manner. The gentlemen
were delighted with their reception.
TIE carriage which conveyed the President
and his wife over the line of March yesterday
was: handsomely decorated with the national
colors, and each side of the drivers seat were
two handsome, red white and blue standards.
The vehicle was drawn by eight gray horses,
also decorated with flags. They are the property
OF Schmidt Brothers, the well-known brewers,
and their services we're donated by this patri-
otto firm. They were driven by NJ. ]. Rush and
J. B. Robinson, two good looking young men,
who handled the reins to perfection.
Ii"When was walking with the President from
his carriage to the CAPITOL said Mayor Denny
last night, "he seemed to be greatly taken with
our State House and it was then that told him
it was built within the appropriation, which
fact he alluded to in his response to the Gov
ernor's address of welcome. Mr.. Cleveland
said very little. however, during the short time
was with him. He seems to be man of few
words and with common sense views. His
principal characteristic is GOODNESS, think he
has this characteristic more fully developed
than any public man ever saw"
'Never since Jackson" said Judge Niblaek
we han vbf,o
say o. as well as Cleveland, Whether right or
wrong he can say no,and stick to it,and that is a
very strong point in a public man. He is a
typical example OF class Of statesman that ERE
confined 70 the East that are noted for being
strong both Intellectually and physically.
But for all that, President Cleveland
made ten strike when he got married. The
people are delighted with his wife, and she has
been shown as much attention here as he has
There is no doubt but his marriage has
proved one of the most fortunate events OF his
life"
A pretty sight yesterday was the ten thousand
children who, congIegated in the Court House
yard, welcomed the President and Mrs. CIeve-
land. They were there in all sizes and ages:
strong voices and weak ones; melOdi0us and
discordant And such q reception Perhaps
no public officers were ever treated to such.
Screaming, footing clapping OF hands, boy and
girl alike, they witnessed the Presidential
party pass by. The street was strewn with
flowers gathered by tiny hands and hurled In
unrestricted enthusiasm at the city's honored
guests. Such another demonstration will not
soon be witnessed, for it isn't often ten thou
sand children, who never had chance to I'M
loose their pent-up enthusiasm on a President,
can be gotten together In one noisy, struggling,
suIgiDg aggregation
